Afternoon Benches Ewer Fabric Lace Parents Patterned Samovar Tablecloth Teapot
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the warmth and intimacy of a Russian rural family gathered around their samovar for an afternoon tea ritual, circa 1902. The scene takes place in a quaint, rustic setting, with the family seated on simple benches around a wooden table adorned with a lace tablecloth and patterned fabric. The parents, dressed in traditional Russian attire, engage in conversation with their children, creating a sense of connection and togetherness. At the center of the table, a samovar, an essential Russian household appliance, steams gently. The large urn-shaped heating vessel, topped with a teapot and ewer, is used to brew and serve tea. The family members take turns pouring the fragrant, amber-colored tea into their cups, savoring each sip as they share stories and laughter. The atmosphere is one of simple pleasures and contentment, as the family enjoys the comforts of their home in the Russian countryside. The photograph offers a glimpse into the history and traditions of rural Russian life, providing a window into a bygone era. The intricate details of the scene, from the textured wood grain of the table to the delicate lace tablecloth, transport us back in time and invite us to appreciate the beauty and richness of this moment in Russian history.
